President Joe Biden Showed Up in A Mask For The First Time After First Lady Jill Biden Tested Positive For COVID-19

As per the report of US News, a day after his wife, First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19, President Joe Biden made his first appearance in a mask in months on Tuesday. However, the president soon removed it during a ceremony honoring an 81-year-old Vietnam veteran, and the two elderly people who were not wearing masks shook hands firmly before parting.

The White House had previously stated that Biden, who had earlier in the day tested negative for the virus, would wear a mask indoors but would take it off when standing apart from other people.

When the national emergency has ended and mask restrictions have been lifted but the virus is still spreading, coronavirus precautions can become a tangle. The reality looked considerably different from the routine that had been promised. Hospitalizations are increased, but not to the same extent as before, and when a new booster becomes ready next month, doctors want to give more doses to more people’s arms.

According to ABC News,  Biden and his wife First Lady Jill Biden drove to Florida on Saturday to survey Hurricane Idalia’s damage. After spending a portion of Labor Day weekend at their beach property in Delaware, Biden and his wife First Lady Jill Biden left for Philadelphia on Monday to attend a union event alone before returning to the White property.

First lady Jill Biden was organizing replacement professors for her students at a community college in northern Virginia while she intended to spend the entire week at the Rehoboth Beach residence. The president will take another test, according to the White House, before Thursday’s Group of 20 meeting in India.

The president would have to forgo the trip, which also includes stops in Vietnam and at a military installation in Alaska to remember the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, if he were to contract the illness again (he did last summer).
